Does anyone doing assembler use IF...THEN and other structured programming macros anymore? I wrote some pretty complex macro definitions for IBM's Assembler F about 30 years ago, and then wrote a post-processor for the listing file that indented the code appropriately, supressed the macro expansions for the structure macros while leaving others intact, and did other pretty-printing functions. Harlan Mills borrowed my definitions and publicized them. Bob Munck Mill Creek Systems LC
